Current Investing Status
Hello!
I am new to RE so far but I feel like everything might be slowing down a bit, even in the investment world. What are your thoughts? Are you holding off or just being smarter? Are you still investing, if so has your strategy changed or stayed the same?
Just want to hear everyones experience and thoughts. I know the market always shifts, just curious to see where everyone is at since COVID did change things up a bit in an unnatural way so to speak.

@Taylor Bennett I believe it depends on your current situation and what your long term goals are. If say, your goal is to buy and hold long term rentals that cash flow, then as long as the numbers work when you purchase the property you'll be fine. I would recommend to always searching for deals that fit your criteria and long term goals so that you don't miss a potential opportunity. This will help you to achieve financial freedom quicker and more efficiently than trying to potentially time the market. I hope this helps!
